Wet and ready to plant
Here at Peaceful Valley Farm Supply it’s raining and raining quite hard. Hopefully any cover crop seed that’s been planted in recent weeks has some roots holding those little guys down so they don’t wash down into your neighbors drainage ditch. Otherwise, after this storm passes it should be prime time to put in that cover crop. The soil should still be holding above 45 degrees being warm enough for the seeds to germinate and now that the ground will be nice and moist… PERFECT! So don’t wait to get that soil builder mix in this month and you will be pleasantly surprised how well your vegies grow and produce next year. Not to mention loaded with nutrients provided by all the cover crop goodies left after breaking down in your soil.

I’m going to be planting native grass seed this weekend! It’s also a great time to be putting out wildflower seed now that it wont get washed away in that first heavy rain.
